tho Fidelity bank directors, having asccr-
iaincl that hc was indicted, fled 10 Spain,
sailing from New Yor, under tho name oi
Charles Zimmerman Only two luurs before

OF him. II u true that Mr.. Zimmerman
hls been abroad for snmc time and that

The Press CriiiciErs the Late Award in
the CHAMPION stake.

Much interest being felt about the rc.
suit Of the Champion stake lately run In
the Eastern field trials, and In which the
Memphis dogs were defeated by bad
Judgment and imperfect rules, We clip the
following from the reports sent the three
leading sportsman's papers:
In speaking ol the heat bctweed ROdcr-
igo and Gaths Mark, the T'if, Fiod and
Farm says This heat was by far the
most animated and interesting Of the day.

As q model field dog he may be clased
with the celebrated Gath, who cXccllcd

And of the heat between Ro1crigo and

the latter part OF the heat, but Rodcrigo

satisfactory.

Special Dispatch to the Appeal
IIrrtE Rock, Ark, Dec. H. Much
speculation has been going ON concerning
the capture 81 last Friday nights trio Of
train robbers on the n. Louis, Arkansas &
Texas railroad. The sheriff Of Miller
county, where the robbery occurred,
got on their track early Satur-
day morning, and II all reports tele-
gaphcd away about the matter can
bc believed, routed the thieves with his
pacl, Of bloodhounds, but owing TO tho
unusual Slcckncss OF the mscals, they
cludcd the puSucls. They were, how
over captured at Camden, few miles this
side oi TcXarkana, yesterday, and con-
vcycd under heavy guard TO Lcwisville,
Lafayette county, where they were locked
up Tor future developments.
Today the news comes from Hot Springs
that John Brady, at ono time u wealthy
mine owner, OF Silver City, Ark, had been
arrested there as one VI the train robbers.
A mistake exists somewhere. Either
one oi the three men captured
at Camden will be forced TO
prove an alibi, or else Bmdyis not the man
for whom he is taken. The real fact Il, no
one knows anything about the robbers.

No faults were committed except that Rod
made n false point and Glostcr made sever
AL While the quality oi the work done
by both dogs was first class, that done by
Rod was of very high order OF merit, and
in this respect was superior To that OF his
competitor, and notwithstanding the fact
that Glostcr found the most birds, We be-
lieve that Roderigo is the better dog as
sincerely rs we believe that GloSter is
better dog than Roy Monarch, who beat
him in the Memphis stake under
Judges We have unbounded confidence ia
and great respect for their opinion, H. -
ing that they would decide nothing IL
out firm conviction that exact justice
was being done. In arriving at their decis-
ion We fear that they did not sufficiently
take into consideration the fact that CLOS.
ter had the luck Of the birds IN finding
the first beyy, and that when sent after
the scattered birds he vas again lucky in
being thrown in the right direction, and
that his last bird was practically found for
him by Rod, who made a cast up the hill
and found a bird which he pointed,
and Glostcr was brough, round and backed
until the bird was flushed, when
he took a step or two ami made point TO
bird that was rather too near him To
have lain had he been going at speed.
The heat was a close one and had contin-
ucd for one hour and twcnty-four minutes,
aud the greater amount of work done by
Glostcr was probably thought by them
| sufficient 60 overcome the advantage that
Rod had in the better quality. They were
ordered up at 4l0 o'clock with Glosier the
winner, and he was declared winner OF the
Champion stake, and the meeting OF 1887
was brought 10 u close"
